∙ 15y agoOkay there are many different surfaces for a horse to walk on, but you have to choose the right one. Soft Soil Soft soil is very squishy and the hooves sink in a little bit. This is bad for the horses joints and hooves because it takes a lot more muscle to pull the hoof back up, and this lets the horse tire more quickly. Hard Packed Soil or Concrete/Stone Concrete/Stone or hard packed soil are DEFINITALY not good choices. The joints are damaged by traveling on these surfaces because of the amount of shock applied when the hoof and ground contact. Medium Soil/Firm Grass Medium soil and firm grass are the happy mediums between soft soil and hard packed soil or concrete/stone making them great surfaces for traveling with your horse.
